Drama with actor Hawick Lau ‘ sealed with a kiss’ he is a psycho abusive possessive overly jealous. And yes there is an actual R* scene. Hawick Lau is amazing actor, good looking.

Another costume kdrama I remembered. ‘Moon lovers scarlet heart Ryo’ definitely similar red flag vibes. ML says similar things like ‘you belong to me’ ‘you are mine’. Lots of eye candy, many good looking actors there. ML is a Prince with a scar on his face so he wears a mask. FL Is reincarnated from modern times, while she is in coma, her soul ends up in a body of young girl 1000 years back. Interesting drama . There is a Chinese version of this with 2 seasons that the Korean was based on.

Note: sad ending. There was meant to be season 2 with modern theme and them meeting again in modern era but it didn’t do well in Korea so they abandoned it. However this drama did well internationally.

I don’t understand the abbreviations. Do you mean Sexual assault? There is attempted ones. And if you are fan of Xiao Zhan. He is 2nd ML in the wolf.

I'm watching it on Bilibili for free, all episodes available with no ads

i'm watching this drama, episode 37. The ML and 2nd ML standing to the side while there is full on fight going on around them and they can't do anything to help themselves. Makes no sense that neither of them can fight. At least ML should have learned martial arts, as he was raised by that war lord Pingnan. Sometimes such detail in chinese drama makes no sense

I’m watching Story of Kunning palace. It’s slow burn. And there is no real love triangle. ML in this drama is 2nd ML there

Yes. Joy of life deserves the top spot!

Goodbye my Princess.
The wolf.
I will never let you go

Modern: The confidence. Unexpected falling. (these two have same leads, many same actors)
kdrama: Secret (2013) modern drama.

Many Drama with actor Hawick Lau have similar vibe.

Honestly I am team Yan Lin. Zhang Zhe is too moody, he looks depressed half of the time. ML Xie Wei too aggressive with constant scheming. Yan Lin is hot, fun loving and knows how to fight while the other two don't. Yan Lin is good mix of everything. Honestly I think I'll find some drama with him as ML. I really liked his looks

Who is ZLY?

He’s involved with Wan’er only. He marries her. No involvement with anyone else. Duo duo is just a friend. Silili is no show in season 2. I believe in the book it’s different. He has a harem with several women which was a norm back then.

its such a enjoyable drama i didn't mind rewatching season 1 for season 2 and don't mind rewatcing the whole thing again when season 3 comes out. I think season 3 will probably be the last one.

I thoughht Xiao Zhan was terrible in the season 1, I am glad he was replaced. Xiao Zhan acting was overly forced, he didn't seem comfortable in that role at all. The new one is a natural. He doesn' force anger when it is not required and anger is natural. Xiao seemes was still new to acting so he wasn;t good at all.

Costume dramas are the best. You really missing out. Some of the costumes are so pretty. Very different look from the Korean costumes imo

I’m watching The story of Kunning palace. Now at the episode where this actor entered. Wow so good looking. I had to look up, he is only 22? Just how? He has a mature look and amazing acting skills for being so young. He is going to have a very long career…

where did you guys watch it? its not on Viki or Netflix in my country, Netflix has only season 1 so far, maybe will have to wait for them to add it.

i find him pretty and handsome, in the sea of cdrama MLs he stands out as a naturally good looking man, 95% of chinese actors are plastic... I'm sure most of the MLs you find handsome are thanks to their plastic surgeon, they weren't born that way... He could have had plastic surgery but i respect that he didn't. I'm so glad that he is the lead in Joy of life, i can't see the role of Fan Xian played by anyone else. He nailed it!

I haven’t watched a single episode of Squid games. Will start watching season 1 after season 3 release. Anyone like me here? I normally don’t watch blood or gory type drama, I’m more into the typical romance kdrama but I watch a lot of Chinese sword martial arts drama. And recently watched the new gladiator movie, so since I watched that, I might as well watch The Squid games.

Watch Joy of life, 2 seasons are out. If you like intelligent witty characters you will love it. And it’s comedic as hell. Don’t expect much romance but romance is also present. But the drama is focused on ML and how he tackles the injustices of the world. It’s quite interesting and not a boring moment.

I haven’t watched the above drama yet. But Sealed with a kiss has a very red flag ML. Hawick Lau is the ML. It’s not historical drama. Also watch ‘The confidence’, and ‘unexpected falling’. Both have same leads. Possessive red flag villain ML. Both modern drama.
